Queercore : how to punk a revolution : an oral history / editors: Liam Warfield, Walter Crasshole, and Yony Leyser ; introduction: Anna Joy Springer and Lynn Breedlove.
Through exclusive interviews with protagonists like Bruce LaBruce, G.B. Jones, John Waters, and many more, alongside a treasure trove of never-before-seen photographs and reprinted zines, Queercore traces the history of a scene originally ''fabricated'' in the bedrooms and coffee shops of Toronto and San Francisco by a few young, queer punks to its emergence as a relevant and real revolution.
